VII. Web analysis by Google Analytics (anonymisation function)

The controller for processing has integrated component Google Analytics (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis means the collection, aggregation and evaluation of data concerning the behaviour of visitors on websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data regarding from which website a data subject came to a website (referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is used mostly to optimise a website and for cost-benefits analysis of internet advertising.

The operator company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller uses the web analysis of Google Analytics with the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp". By this addition, the internet protocol address of the internet connection of the data subject will be abbreviated and anonymised by Google when the access to our websites comes from a member state of the European Union or another contracting state of the convention on the European economic area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is analysis of the visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information gained, inter alia, to evaluate use of our website, in order to compile online reports for us that indicate the activities on our websites and in order to render further services connected to use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information-technology system of the data subject. It has already been explained above what cookies are. By placing the cookie, Google can analyse use of our websites. Every time one of the individual pages of this website that is operated by the data controller on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated is called up, the web browser on the information-technology system of the data subject will be automatically caused to transmit data for the purpose of online analysis to Google by the respective Google Analytics component. Within the context of this technical procedure, Google will obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the internet protocol address of the data subject, which serve, inter alia, to enable Google to track the origin of visitors and their clicks, and to permit subsequent settlements of commission fees.

The cookie is used to store personal data, such as the access time, place from which an access took place and frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. On every visit to our websites, these personal data, including the internet protocol address of the internet connection used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on such personal data collected with technical procedures to third parties under certain circumstances.

The data subject may prevent setting of cookies by our website as already presented above, at any time, by making the corresponding setting in the web browser used and thereby permanently object to setting of cookies. This setting of the web browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information-technology system of the data subject. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via the web browser or other software programs.

The data subject is also able to object to recording of the data generated by Google Analytics referring to use of this website and processing of such data by Google and prevent this. For this, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information concerning the visitors of websites must be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google will assess installation of the browser add-on as an objection. If the information-technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or re-installed at a later time, the data subject must install the browser add-on again in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person subject to his or her scope of influence, it is possible to re-install or re-activate the browser add-on.

You may prevent recording by Google Analytics by clicking the following link. An opt-out cookie is set that will prevent the future recording of your personal data when visiting this website:

Disable Google Analytics

For further information and the applicable provisions on data protection of Google, see https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

The Google Analytics cookie is stored for 14 months on your computer if you do not delete it before this.


VIII. Integration of Google Maps

  1. On this website, we use the offer of Google Maps. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables comfortable use of the map function for you.

  2. By your visit to the website, Google will be informed that you have called up the corresponding sub-page of our website. The data named in Section 3 of this statement will be transmitted as well. This is done independently of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be associated with your account directly. If you do not wish assignment to your profile at Google, you need to log out before you activate the button. Google will store your data as usage profiles and use them for the purpose of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such evaluation shall in particular take place (even for users who are not logged in) in order to display demand-oriented marketing and in order to inform other users of the social network of your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the generation of these user profiles. In order to exercise these, you must contact Google.
